The influence of single lean principles on lean bundles

A number of publications exists which investigate the influence from
the lean bundles TPM, TQM, JIT and EMS on manufacturing performance
on an abstract level. This paper examines the relations between
these lean bundles on a single element level to support the decision
which lean principles to focus on. The result is that different lean
principles have a diverging degree of interlinkage and thus
influence other single principles directly or indirectly. Eight
single principles could be identified which are likely to have the
biggest influence on the overall manufacturing performance.
